New PM-728V-T Mill

Backlash on X and Y seems to be 0.006". The large metal handwheels feel great with a little more friction than I'm used to. There is an adjustment for X and Y backlash but I have not touched any adjustments.
 
I do like the look of the mill.

For its size I would expect really good performance with the thicker base and the wide lower column mount.
 
Very Cool new machine! Congrats! Can you tell us about the quill. Particularly the backlash on the handwheel and the play with the quill extended?
 
Pushed the order button yesterday for the 728, and a new acorn board. Think I'll put my X3 back together (was planning to CNC it) and list it. Could pay for Clearpath servos. :)

Great! I seem to see some postings here I missed. I'll have to try and respond to those soon.
 
It made it today. It was well crated, with no damage I can see. Now the fun begins :)

Congrats to you as well JimRK. Maybe you can you tell us about the quill. Particularly the backlash on the handwheel and the play with the quill.
